I suspect windows 8 is going to join windows vista, ME and BOB in the deep dark pit of failed microsoft OS's. its not entirely windows 8's fault, many corporations skipe every other windows release just due to the effort it takes to test and deploy an OS.

My personal opinion is microsoft needs new focus groups... who's great idea was it to do away with the start menu? now if you want to find your programs you have to magically know to put your mouse in the upper right hand corner long enough for a menu to fly out... completely switch to the stupid start page, then pin your program to the taskbar for some semblance of a reasonable workflow.

I have windows 8 on my new computer so far its not really that bad, that said i dont use the new tile interface much and i had to download a app so i could have the classic start button on the desktop. It hasnt been that hard to get used to coming from my last computer that had XP on it

Windows 8

It's SUCKS!
My wife bought me a laptop for valentines and gave it to me yesterday I was very surprised she saw the look on my face and was happy then I turned it on she saw my face and she said what's wrong I said can you take it back? Now she is sleeping on the couch and I'm here in our room watching the news typing thus up on my iPhone I hate windows 8 what a joke

While i DO NOT understand the reasoning behind removing the start menu (or not giving the option to turn it back on) windows 8 really isn't that bad. Just pin the stuff you want to use to the taskbar or drop a shortcut on the desktop and its really not all that much different from windows 7. I still think its doomed to fail, but not because its a crappy OS, just a crappy user interface. shockingly what works well on a phone doesn't translate to a computer... who knew?
